Just something different ,....

Descending over the Java Sea inbound to Jakarta, the most amazing cloudscape.

Dear Mark,

That is a striking composition! The wing is such an important component of the image, but it doesn't overpower it, and the cloudscape and sea beneath are wonderful. Nicely done from what must have been 32H

Anyone ever had a water leak under their foundation? Boy is this fun! I noticed a wet spot along the side of our house a few days ago so I did a little investigating. At first I thought it was a sprinkler head leaking, but no such luck, it's a leak in the copper piping in, or beneath the slab. So, what a fun way to drop 4 grand. They think they can repair it by digging a large tunnel under our home, this based upon what their leak detection gear showed them today.

I think I'd rather spend 4k in Crazy Horse!

Jim, I had a leak in my bedroom that cost me $3,300. They capped that hot water line, then ran a new on in the attic. I thought that was better than bringing jack hammers into the bedroom.

No foundation work, but I had three access holes cut into the sheetrock.

Slab leaks are a pain. Haven't had one myself but my Dad did several years ago down in Tucson. Had a nice foxhole in the middle of his living room for about two weeks.

Jim,

I think Ive found your Crack cocain substitute....lol..

Stunning clouds!!!

Jim, Jay, now you guys got me wondering what lurks beneath my slab

Well, depending on which news outlook you believe, it seems like Democrats and Republicans are both putting on a good show of "trying to come to an agreement" but it seems like they're both just as willing to just let the cuts kick in as of March 1st. Republicans want the spending cuts (minus the military aspects), and the entitlement reform that the mandatory sequestration is going to get them, and the Democrats want the cuts to defence spending and the increased taxes, and both sides (again depending on which outlet you belive) seem to believe that they may not be able to get a better deal than the one that the cuts is going to force them in to...definitely not booking my tickets for Alliance until we get some solid news on it, since the Navy has said that if the cuts kick in the Blue Angels will be grounded for the year (I've already expressed my opinion of the fact that this isn't saving any money, it's just pissing off the people that are paying the tax dollars to keep them flying)

Ah well, on to happier news. We bought ourselves a Hot Tub, can't wait to get it installed on the deck. It's been above freezing here for the last little while, could have been soaking in the hot tub already if it was installed. Oh wait...Y'all call them spas don't you...

Last word from the BAs I saw on FB says they're currently full steam ahead for the season and have no idea what March will bring.

I can ask on Thursday while shooting their practice opif you like.

I don't think they'll know an answer for sure until after March 1st, but would be interested to see what their current perspective on it is.

Interesting to see the difference between the AF and Navy on this. I like the Navy approach of going until told to stop from a fan of airshows, but the AF assuming the worst is probably the more likely outcome.

That's it Al! I'm already getting shaky!

What Jim,....delirious already

...seeing bright Yellow little airplanes

Think if I mark this box Red Cross supplies it''ll get there quicker ROFL....
